Title: Grazing and plant-canopy effects on semiarid soil microbial biomass and respiration
Journal: Biology and Fertility of Soils
Authors: T. L. Kieft
Date: 1994
Summary: Chronosequences of sites withdrawn from grazing for 0, 11, and 16 years were sampled by Kieft, in a grassland (Bouteloua spp.) area and a shrubland (Atriplex canescens) area on and near the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico. Although Kieft hypothesized that individual values of the soil C triangle would increase and that the ratios would decrease with time since grazing, differences in microbial parameters between sites located along the chronosequences were generally not significant. Grazing did not appear to have a major effe ...
